5 Things You Didn't Know About K-Fed

3 - He named one of his children after Michael Jackson

Like many young dancers of his generation, K-Fed owes a lot of his moves to Michael Jackson. Therefore, it’s fitting that he shared the screen with his mentor in the video for "You Rock My World," the debut single from Jackson’s 2001 album Invincible.

The encounter must have been a meaningful one, because three years later, K-Fed named his first son Kaleb Michael Jackson Federline. Granted, it’s an odd tribute to a man known for dangling babies rather than nurturing them — although Kaleb’s mother denies any connection between the baby’s name and the King of Pop — but when it comes to Federline, nothing surprises us anymore.

The connections to Jackson don’t end there. It has been rumored that Federline is investing millions of Britney’s hard-earned money into a dance school he’s building with Michael’s father, Joe. Although it seems like an odd pairing, the elder Jackson actually has some dance pedigree of his own. In addition to managing/abusing the Jackson Five, he started his own hip-hop boot camp in 2005. According to Jackson’s business associate Charles Kopay, ''It's not so much of Joe Jackson knowing about hip-hop, it's about Joe Jackson being able to groom the next generation of superstars.'' We can only hope they end up as well adjusted as Tito and La Toya.

4 - Quentin Tarantino was linked to his ex

Film director Quentin Tarantino sparked rumors in 2005 when he was seen canoodling with K-Fed’s ex, Shar Jackson. According to witnesses, the pair was holding hands “like a couple” and was “very touchy.” Jackson, however, has denied that she and Tarantino are an item.

“That's my partner in crime,” she said in reference to the Pulp Fiction director. “He doesn't meet too many women who are into horror films and nowadays I don't meet too many men who are into horror films and stuff like that. So, whenever a new horror film comes out, Quentin and I get together and go check it out.” You’d think having two children with Federline would have given her enough horror to last a lifetime, but apparently some people are never satisfied.

5 - He’s worth up to $50,000,000

According to the lyrics of his rap single, “America's Most Hated,” Federline boasts a net worth of $50 million. Although the number may sound far-fetched for a man known for sporting wife beaters and five days worth of stubble, it actually has a basis in reality. After all, according to Forbes, Britney is worth $200 million, and K-Fed would be entitled to a considerable amount of that in the event of a breakup since — according to some sources — she didn’t insist on a prenup. The couple may also start generating more money in the form of their own clothing line. "I'm gonna design the men's and she will design the women's,” K-Fed explains. “We're thinking about calling it Pair A Dice — because dice are lucky for us."

From Kato Kaelin to Roger Clinton, America has always been fascinated with the deadbeat friends, spouses and relatives of celebrities. Fortunately, Federline has been only too happy to indulge our interest. In addition to his often candid comments to the press, he also starred in 2005’s Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, a reality TV show that Variety called “a self-indulgent, mindless piece of drivel.”

As long as trailer trash needs a role model, Kevin Federline will remain relevant.
